Hostettler Heather

When she turned 18 she signed a contract with Pro-Model, modeling for print and promotional commercial endeavors. Her creative side took over and after she graduated from Toledo Academy of Beauty Culture she started a career as a freelance make-up artist and hair stylist for theatrical and dinner theatre entertainment. In 2003 she began her commercial acting career in a regional spot for Mercedes. From there she went on to appear in a wide variety of different acting roles, everything from a commercial for the cult-classic documentary "Heavy Metal Parking Lot," a supporting role in an esoteric, hyperbole on consumerism titled, "Mother's Day Special," to a lead role in the soon-to-be released, "Copley: An American Fairytale," where she plays the mother in this ghost story/supernatural thriller that eschews violence and gore, and instead relies on strong visual storytelling and acting ability to convey the scares and mystery of a young family haunted by apparitions. She also has a strong dance background, and is credited with dance choreography for the critically acclaimed short film, "The Box Preacher."
